Chapter Seventy-Five: Houfu
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said...... Jiang Yao's dignified Shurui, Keling Kerou...... Now canonized as a Liupin'an person! ”
"Jiang's famous quinoa,...... Knowledgeable and reasonable, expensive and thrifty, helping the poor and helping the needy, and having a good heart...... Specially given 1,000 acres of fertile land, a field house, Qin this! ”
Jiang Qu knelt on the ground, her mind was messy, she could understand each of these words separately, but when they were put together, she didn't understand what they meant.
"Miss Jiang, hurry up and take the order." The eunuch said gently.
Qing Bo motioned to Aunt Rong to help Jiang Quinoa up to receive the order, and he quietly pinched his purse, and only took out one or two silver and a few copper plates for a long time, and looked at the patriarch next to him with some shame, but saw that the patriarch's whole body trembled with excitement, and the muscles on his face were twitching, and he couldn't count on it.
Fortunately, the village chief will deal with the government all year round, and when he saw that Qingbo didn't do anything for a long time, he understood his embarrassment. At this time, the incident happened suddenly, so I had to speak out first to stabilize the eunuch of the decree, and then told my son to hurry back and wrap a red envelope.
"I heard that Miss Jiang was injured, and the Queen Mother asked and instructed the servants to bring some medicinal herbs. At that time, the prince of Ming happened to be visiting the queen mother, and said that the medicinal materials in the small county town were not complete, and it was necessary to reward more medicinal materials to be practical, and it would be better if there were two boxes of good jade plaster, saying that the girl's hand had a scar but would cry her nose, and this did not jade paste slave brought two boxes over. This is a jade cream made from the ancestral secret recipe of the Tai Hospital Yizheng, and one box can completely eliminate the scar. Because of the preciousness of medicinal materials, it is difficult to find a box. The eunuch who delivered the decree said.
"The people's daughter, Empress Dowager Xie, loves the prince of Ming." Jiang Qu was curious about who the prince of Ming was and why he spoke for her. It doesn't show it on the face.
The surname of this dynasty is Zhou, and Young Master Xu is definitely not the son of King Ming. Could it be the young master who came to the Jiang family with him?
The eunuch took a closer look at Jiang Quinoa, and his appearance was at best delicate. People look bright, but there is no special temperament on the body, and when it comes to the prince of Ming, he is also very calm, without any ambiguity or shyness, it seems that the two should have no other relationship. Is it really just because the prince of Ming Wang was injured because of negligence when he was chasing the thief, so he wanted to make amends?
When the eunuch thought about it, the queen mother was still very worried about this matter, and he had to inquire about it. I followed the village chief's words and sat down to drink tea.
Jiang Quinoa held the holy decree in his hand, and his heart was still pounding. How did her grandmother be named a Liupin'an person for no reason, and she was also rewarded with thousands of acres of fertile land. There's also a house.
The patriarch followed Jiang Quinoa step by step, and said excitedly: "Great joy, this is a great joy for the Jiang family." Ah Quinoa girl, even your father didn't have a holy decree when he was a middle jinshi. This time, the saint actually issued an order to his aunt and you. That's a great thing. This decree is to be enshrined in the ancestral hall for the whole clan to come and pay homage. ”
How precious is this decree? Jiang Quinoa's heart jumped, for fear that he would lose the holy decree, so he hurriedly handed it to the patriarch and said, "Patriarch, the holy decree is for you to offer to the ancestral hall." ”
The patriarch waved his hand again and again: "This is your glory, and if you want to make an offering, I will immediately order you to go down and let everyone gather in the ancestral hall." This offering should be solemn, and it should be made ten miles and eight towns. Let the whole county know our glory. ”
"Then you have to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, this is casually worshiped in the past, and it is too casual." Jiang Chun said.
The patriarch glared at her: "The holy decree is in the hands of the quinoa girl today, and today is the auspicious day of the zodiac, so what else do you choose." ”
"No, I have to hurry up and make arrangements, and I have to call back all the people who are working outside, and it will be lively and grand when there are many people." The patriarch said in pieces and left.
Jiang Quinoa held the holy decree and was worried.
"This is the decree." Jiang Chun looked at it curiously.
Jiang Quinoa handed his hand in front of her: "Here, you can take it and see it." ”
Jiang Chun's head shook like a rattle, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I don't dare to take it." If this thing breaks, I won't be able to pay for it if I die 10,000 times. As he spoke, he took three or four steps back, staring at the Divine Decree defensively, like a beast in a flood.
Everyone didn't dare to take over, so Jiang Quinoa had to take the holy decree back into the house and put it in a small box, so he stood aside with peace of mind and took out the title deed of the holy reward and rubbed it carefully.
At this time, the atmosphere in the outer courtyard was a little dull.
The biggest official that the countrymen usually see is the magistrate, which is still not easy to see, not to mention the eunuchs from the capital, the clan elders who dare to come when they hear the news and sit with their hands rubbed their hands and laughed, not knowing what to say to the eunuchs.
The eunuch also often dealt with people, and he was like a human spirit, and he opened his mouth to ask some questions about sowing seeds in the fields and coming in to eat, etc., which made these simple countrymen open the conversation, and finally talked about the night Jiang Quinoa was kidnapped by thieves.
Qing Bo saw that the eunuch was interested in the events of that night, and thought that he had just said what the prince of Ming, so he paid attention, anyway, they didn't do anything wrong with the things that night, so he told the matter, and only concealed the fact that he finally sent Jiang Quinoa to the county seat overnight to see the injury.
"It's exactly what the prince of Ming said." The eunuch secretly said in his heart that he knew how to reply when he returned to the capital, and he was immediately reluctant to stay here.
Seeing that the eunuch frowned, he hurriedly said: "The adults have come from afar, and it is also hard work, so it is better to go to the city to rest first, so that the lower officials can fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”
The eunuch nodded, refused the village chief's retention, and followed the magistrate to the county seat. Before leaving, he also accepted the seal red handed by Qingbo, although he knew that there was not much silver in it when he touched it.
This eunuch is not very important in the palace, in the place where you die and die, he will be trampled under his feet all the time if he doesn't climb up, and the living people are not ghosts or ghosts. This opportunity to pass on the decree was also taken out by him in every possible way, just to know more about the Ming Wang's son coming here, and to go back to please the Queen Mother, so he didn't care how much silver Qingbo handed over, what he cared about was whether he could get the news he wanted. It seems that this trip is worth it, and he knows more than he thinks.
For the entire Jiangli Village, this day is even more lively and dense than the Winter Moon Festival. Although the news came suddenly. The time was short, but the patriarch still did his best to call back many Jiang clan people who were outside, and even the people in the nearby villages heard that the Jiang family had obtained the holy decree. The female dependents of the family were also named Liupin'an, which was considered to be very high, so they all came to see the legendary holy decree and Miss Jiang, who was rewarded by the imperial court.
Jiang Quinoa pulled the clothes on his body, and he was dressed very awkwardly: "The one I made for the Chinese New Year last year is also very beautiful, and I can still wear it." Why do you have to wear the master's clothes? ”
Aunt Rong looked left and right, and sure enough, it was a person who relied on clothes, and the young lady was wearing this dress. Originally, the color of seven points also had eight or nine points. If you don't keep ripping your clothes, that's even better.
"Master Li taught you to remember, this is the time to give you a long face, you can show me well. If you mess me up. You're going to be able to put me in bed today, you know? Aunt Rong patted Jiang Quino's hand, smoothed out her wrinkled place, and admonished.
As the representative of the Jiang family, Jiang Quinoa will personally send the holy decree to the ancestral hall to be enshrined. Aunt Rong felt that her usual clothes were too ordinary, and she was worried about whether to go to the garment shop in the city to buy a new dress and come back, so Wang Li came to relieve her worries.
Wang Li is a Jiangnan person with a petite stature. Although Jiang Quinoa is only thirteen years old this year, he is about the same size as Wang Li's. Wang Li took out two clothes from his cage and gave them to Jiang Quinoa. Many of her clothes were made before she got married, and the workmanship materials were not bad, plus those exquisite embroiderers, such clothes may not be found in the best ready-to-wear shops in the county.
Of course, Aunt Rong was very happy with the clothes, especially when she saw that after Jiang Quinoa wore them, she was just like everyone in the city, and her whole body was full of style, and she was even more grateful to Wang Li.
It's just that Jiang Quinoa has never worn such a good material, and wearing such a complicated skirt on her body, no matter where she goes, people will notice her, she feels even more awkward, and she has been pestering Aunt Rong to change her clothes.
Jiang Quinoa wrinkled her nose, Aunt Rong was really, and even threatened her by pretending to be sick.
"They are all here for the Holy Decree, what's the use of me dressing well?"
Aunt Rong pinched her: "That holy decree can't you send to the ancestral hall?" I have lived in the Jiang family for most of my life, you are the first woman I have ever seen enter the ancestral hall, this honor, not to mention the desire of others to break their heads, is the future...... Well, that's also long-faced. You are also famous in the Holy Place, and dressing well not only makes your face long, but also shows the good upbringing of our family. Do you think Aunt Rong taught you badly? ”
Aunt Rong said and began to look out, secretly regretting in her heart, alas, why didn't she expect it before, her own young lady is so good, and she usually stays at home all day with the young lady's temperament, and she doesn't go out or see guests. Outside only knows the eldest lady of the Jiang family, but they don't know what she looks like, how she is a person, and how she treats people, so that no one cares about her until now.
If the reputation of the young lady had been beaten out earlier, and a matchmaker would have come to the door, she would have picked out a better person to send to the capital for the lord and the lady to choose, and set it for the young lady earlier. This girl's family must come down, otherwise she will be down-to-earth, and she will not think about going to the capital to find her father.
But fortunately, it's not too late, the eldest lady is injured, and she can't go this winter, she and Uncle Qing are busy with work, and find a fast son-in-law for the young lady, and set the eldest lady in the spring next year, so as to dispel the young lady's desire to go to the capital.
Jiang Quinoa didn't know these plans of Aunt Rong, so she held the small box containing the holy decree with great bitterness and hatred, and just waited for the time to offer this thing to the ancestral hall as soon as possible, so as to change back into the cotton clothes that she was used to wearing.
The cold Heavenly Patriarch was running around sweating profusely, and he had never heard laughter, Jiang Qu sat here and whispered to Jiang Chun and the two to relax himself.
Wang Li was not happy to go out, but he also taught Jiang Quinoa some rules early. The time is too short, walking, walking, sitting, standing and so on will not produce the effect, she had to tell Jiang Quinoa: "You just raise your head and chest, boldly move forward, if you look at people, don't stare straight into other people's eyes, just droop down three inches." ”
Jiang Quinoa didn't know that there were strict rules for walking, sitting and lying in big households, especially those young ladies, who were not yet on the high desk, and there would be nurturing grandmothers to follow them to teach the rules, which was not allowed to rub half a step.
Jiang Chun listened to it, and sighed again and again that she was fortunate that she was born in the countryside and did not have to suffer this hardship, which provoked Wang Li to stare at her.
"The master didn't come anyway, you can leave as long as you wait, as long as you don't fall and throw the holy decree out, then no one dares to say anything about you." Jiang Chun said arrogantly.
Since Jiang Youcai's incident happened, the people in the village finally realized how many good things Jiang Quinoa had done, and they were all very grateful to Jiang Quinoa, not to mention that now she has brought supreme glory to the village, who would dare to speak ill of her.
"Let's keep our heads up, let's let those who can't see us, their eyes are red, and they smear us everywhere, we just can do what they can't do, so that they can only follow us and say sour things behind us for the rest of their lives, hum." Jiang Chun clenched his hands and said.
Jiang Quinoa called her with a smile, nodded, and responded, "Okay." "Suddenly I feel like there's nothing to be afraid of.
"Ah Quinoa, the auspicious time is coming, you hurry up and prepare." The patriarch hurried into the house and said.
Jiang Quinoa stood up, straightened the folds on the top, held the box, took a deep breath, and walked calmly towards the ancestral hall step by step amid the sound of drums outside.
It was once the place where her fate was decided, and now it really brought her glory.
Wherever you start, you have to finish there.
Every time he took a step, Jiang Qu meditated in his heart, what he once thought was a profound ancestral hall turned out to be only three hundred and seventy-two steps from the door to here. These more than 300 steps are the division between men and women, the boundary between life and death, and she once prayed that she didn't care about it in this life.
Thinking of the various difficulties and tribulations he has faced since his rebirth, Jiang Qu smiled. Once, these almost broke her, but fortunately she persevered, and she was not defeated again, retracting into her shell.
In the past, the rumors outside did not have any impact on her life, and a little girl was rumored to be arrogant, and she would feel wronged in her heart and want to justify. She never had a chance before, but now she understands that sometimes, there are some things that you don't need to justify, as long as you are strong enough, then these rumors can no longer hurt you.
No one is perfect, and she doesn't beg her father and mother to love her like she loves her younger brothers and sisters, as long as they tell themselves, why is she not as good as her younger brother when she is also a child of the Jiang family, why is she not as good as her younger sister?
She only needs one answer, really only one answer.
She was helpless in the past, and she will become the support of those who love her in the future, so no words can defeat her. (To be continued......)
